Dostoevsky- the search for a plot!

i feel like sulu's saying "you're such a little bitch, aren't you dostoevsky. ohh my!"-new computer, only reaction picture i have so far

I haven't read through to much of Notes from the Underground yet, (I have to do this post a day early because I'll be enjoying my friday night), but from all i can tell so far, this is just the inner monologues of Holden Caulfield from J. D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye, mixed with all the goth whiney "loners" who think that the shun society, not the other way around. So basically Holden Caulfield nowadays.

He takes great pride in the fact that he hates everyone especially himself, but thinks that all other are below him for not hating themselves. going through my own teenage angst stage, i always recognize these people, particularly in high school, and laugh at their own self importance and wait for them to grow up and realize nobody gives a fuck about them, and they shouldn't give one about themselves.

i'm still trying to find some plot line. i'm beginning to doubt whether there is one, or if this is just 100 pages of him whining about shit. oh well, he's a classic, so i guess i'll read it.
